Holy Week Arrives
With the arrival of Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday, we now enter into Christ’s Holy Passion – Holy Week.
Holy Week and Pascha are the most liturgically intense seasons of the Orthodox year. During this time, involvement in liturgical services is both more expectant and participatory.
This is Holy Week. It is not for sissies.
It is an intense journey through of the Passion, Suffering, Death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Come expecting to give, not take.
Come expecting to serve, not be served.
Come expecting to listen, and pray, as with Christ in Gethsemane. The week’s schedule of services is below.
